Medeco 2051500T-26-DLT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Medeco 2051500 cylinder work in a Kaba E-Plex 2000 lock?
That's exactly what the 2051500 is built for. It's a 6-pin Medeco key-in-knob/lever cylinder specified for the Kaba E-Plex 2000 electronic lock platform, so you can put a high-security Medeco keyway on the mechanical override side of an E-Plex 2000 without swapping out the lock itself.
2) Do I have to replace the whole lockset to upgrade to a Medeco high-security key?
No. The 2051500 is a retrofit cylinder, so the existing hardware stays on the door and only the cylinder changes. Beyond the Kaba E-Plex 2000, Medeco states this key-in-knob/lever cylinder retrofits knob-type cylindrical locksets, lever-type cylindrical locksets, padlocks, and bored-type auxiliary deadlatches and deadlocks. Medeco publishes over 100 cylinder and tailpiece configurations, which is how the range gets that wide.
3) What is the difference between Medeco Biaxial and M3 on a key-in-knob cylinder?
Both keyway platforms are orderable on the 2051500, and the choice is driven by the keying system you already run. Biaxial and M3 are separate Medeco key systems, so the cylinder you order has to match the keyway your existing master key system was built in. If the building is already on M3, order M3; if the system is Biaxial, order Biaxial. Mixing them means the existing keys won't operate the new cylinder.
4) Is the Medeco 2051500 cylinder rated for drill and pick resistance?
Yes, the Medeco M4 key-in-knob cylinders are UL437 listed for drill and pick resistance, and the 2051500 is also certified to ANSI A156.30 Level A for patent-protected key control and physical strength and to ANSI A156.5 Grade 1 for heavy-use applications. That combination is what facility and MRO specs usually call out when they require a high-security cylinder rather than a standard one.
5) Can I key the E-Plex override cylinders to match the rest of my building's Medeco system?
Yes, as long as the keyway matches. Order the 2051500 in the same Medeco platform your existing system runs, Biaxial or M3, and it can be pinned into that master key system. If your locksmith pins in house, order the Sub-Assembled version and they'll key it to the existing system directly. This is the usual path for standardizing a facility so one master key covers the mechanical override on every E-Plex 2000 along with the mechanical locks.
6) What does ordering a Medeco cylinder "Sub-Assembled" instead of pinned actually get me?
Three build states are offered on the 2051500: Pinned, Sub-Assembled, and Sub-Assembled No Slider. Pinned ships keyed and ready to install. Sub-Assembled ships for a locksmith or dealer to pin to their own key system in house, and Sub-Assembled No Slider leaves the slider out for shops that pin and set the sidebar element themselves. If you're not pinning your own cylinders, order Pinned.
7) Can keys for this Medeco cylinder be copied at a hardware store?
Not casually. The 2051500 uses Medeco's utility patent-pending key control, which restricts unauthorized duplication, and it is certified to ANSI A156.30 Level A specifically for patent-protected key control. Keys get cut through authorized Medeco channels against your system records, which is the point of putting these on a building where you need to know how many keys exist.
8) Is a 6-pin Medeco cylinder worth it over a standard 5-pin key-in-knob cylinder?
The extra chamber matters if key control is the reason you're buying. The 2051500 is a 6-pin configuration, which raises the number of possible key changes and adds pick resistance versus a conventional 5-pin cylinder, and on top of the pinning Medeco adds the sidebar element and patent-protected key control. If all you need is a working override key and duplication isn't a concern, a standard cylinder does the job; if you're managing a master key system across a building, the 6-pin Medeco is the reason people spec it.
9) What finishes does the Medeco 2051500 key-in-knob cylinder come in?
Thirteen finish codes are orderable, so matching the E-Plex or the surrounding hardware is usually straightforward: 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 611 Bright Bronze, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Dark Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 618 Bright Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 20 Antique Nickel, 622 Flat Black, 624 Dark Bronze, 625 Bright Chrome, and 626 Satin Chrome. For most commercial openings the match is 626 satin chrome or 613 oil-rubbed bronze.
10) Is the Medeco 2051500 built for commercial traffic or is it a residential cylinder?
Commercial. The 2051500 is made of machined brass components and carries ANSI A156.5 Grade 1, the heavy-use commercial rating, which is why it turns up in office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail, government facilities, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential. A residential-grade cylinder would not hold up to the cycle counts those openings see.
